For day 2 of #JulyOT we are dipping into the archives to bring you IoT for Beginners, a 12-week, 24-lesson free and open source IoT curriculum to teach you IoT from the ground up. You can use this for self learning, or re-use hte contents any way you need for teaching or learning. Whether you are a professional developer who wants to learn a new skill, or a teacher looking for IoT classroom content, this curriculum is for you.
